1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Background: Patients with Meige syndrome are often affected by anxiety symptoms, and drug therapy is the primary treatment option, with botulinum toxin A being the most frequently used medication. This study analyzes the intervention effects of different brands of botulinum toxin A on Meige syndrome with anxiety symptoms. The findings aim to provide a theoretical basis for the rational selection of clinical treatment options. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 148 patients treated between January 2021 and December 2023. Patients were divided into two groups based on the BoNT-A brand received: Chinese botulinum toxin type A (Hengli) group ( Results: There were no statistically significant differences in the total remission rate and efficacy maintenance time between the two groups ( Conclusion: Local injection of botulinum toxin type A is a safe and effective treatment for Meige syndrome with anxiety symptoms, and there is no significant difference in the efficacy, duration of action, and improvements in psychological state and sleep quality between different brands of botulinum toxin type A. Therefore, clinical practice should be based on practical considerations to reasonably select the appropriate brand of botulinum toxin type A for treatment.
